We here at The Salvation Army would like to thank those in the Haines community who continue to support us, as we continue “Doing The Most Good.” Over the past year we have seen a great increase in many of the services that we provide such as the food bank, energy, and rental assistance, and spiritual/psychological first aid.
One of the programs that we have seen a great increase in is our “Youth Character Building Programs.” We have done increasingly more backpacks, school supplies, troops and special activities, and I sent more kids to camp than I think they ever have here in Haines.
This past weekend we had our first of what we hope will be an Annual Ice Cream Social, and it was a great success. It could never have happened without the many folks who volunteered, donated items, and showed up to support this great evening of fellowship. It just goes to show that once again if the need is presented, the great folks in this community will step up and “Help Us, Help Haines”.
It is an honor and a privilege to serve in the great community of Haines. Thank you.
Lt. Kevin Woods
